Faux books...

Faux books sounds way more arty farty than fake books, doesn't it?  ;)  I had a dilemma, I had the corner unit in my kitchen placed hard against the wall last week and the light switch and sockets put inside the cupboard space... which was a huge improvement on the light switch being covered up and unreachable and the sockets making the unit stick out in the room.
so I ended up with all the cables and stuff in the bottom shelf and it really didn't look that nice.
So Graphic 45 papers and a load of chipboard and a morning playing at my desk created this...
Yay!  Sorted... it is attached to the sides with magnets so I can remove it easily and get to the socket or plugs if required and it looks great.

It has been a long time....

I imagine that I will be talking to myself, it has been a heap long time since this poor blog got updated.  I don't have any excuses... I just didn't seem to have anything worthwhile to say.

I have been busy with my house and getting used to having Chris at home all day, every day, it makes it more difficult to play.  That must sound like he minds me sitting and playing and it couldn't be further from the truth, it is me that is the problem, I like to do stuff when I want to do it and in the past it meant that mealtimes passed and I didn't notice so carried on with whatever it was I doing.  Now with someone else in the house, breakfast is at a certain time, mid morning coffee and lunch are planned and catered for... in the old days I came out of the craft room in time to sort dinner and that was it! LOL 

Tom-Tom looking as gorgeous as always... 
Pandy doing her leopard impression!
I did teach the toilet paper mini book at Craft Club.  It's a lovely group of ladies and we meet up once a month to play at something new.  The toilet paper album went down a treat.
Made a mini album to attach to a wedding gift... the gift was a picnic basket and it came in a large cloth sack which the company thought was 'gift wrapped'.... yeah.... so this hopefully helped to make it look a bit more special! LOL
Another class I taught at Craft Club was the Bisto granule tub... the ladies had loads of fun with this!
Didn't they do a great job? 
So I haven't totally vanished... fallen off the planet edge or anything... I just need to make some time for me....and my blog!
